Grind Their Bones Into Dust
Nov. 9th, 2005 08:10 pmTwo things.
Rant the first: If you only know me from the Padded Cell and Koi's Oro chats, then for Christ's sake, can't you fucking well remember what my handle is on the Cell? Is that too hard for you? If so, how do you cope with the Information Age and the multitude of passwords that go along with it?
Rant the second: I read things critically. I also exist under the firm belief that if a writer didn't want all kinds of feedback, then they wouldn't post their stories to the Internet. This means that I will tell a writer when I think something is wrong with their story. If they brush me off, more power to them. It's their story, after all.
HOWEVER.
No one but the writer needs to respond to my criticisms. I don't fucking well care what the other readers think of my opinions. They did not write this story, they are not going to change it, they are not going to write future stories under the same handle.
Also, telling me to lighten up? Doesn't work. I came to this board through GAFF - that's Godawful Fanfiction. I know dreck when I see it. I know a lot of the stupid little arguments that fanbrats use to defend their shite. I am not going to let you try to pull that on me here, when I know you aren't fanbrats.
Did I call this writer's story crap? NO! I said I enjoyed it, and I did! BUT I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT!
It is possible to do both, you morons! Why is this beyond your ability to handle?
Most importantly, how does seeing two posts that I make that touch on all of THREE problems, one fairly major and broad, two fairly minor (one specific, one not-so much), qualify as "nitpicking"? You want me to pick nits?! You want me to go over this story with a fine-toothed comb and show you just where everything is done badly?
Jesus, people! I got blunt, yeah, but I sure as hell didn't get vicious!
Also, after responding to me all of twice on a thread (when I only posted twice), saying you're leaving because you feel like you're beating your head against a brick wall... Dude, you suck. You have no stubbornness whatsoever. Please, come over here so I can show you what pain is.
